Product details
Overview
PZU4.7BA,115 from Nexperia is a general-purpose Zener voltage regulator diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, designed for precision voltage reference and overvoltage protection in low-power analog and digital circuits. It delivers 4.7 V nominal Zener voltage with ±5 % tolerance (B series), 800 Ω maximum differential resistance at IZ = 5 mA, 2 µA maximum reverse current at VR = 4.01 V, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature - deployed in power supply feedback loops and sensor biasing networks.
For engineers reviewing the PZU4.7BA,115 datasheet, PZU4.7BA,115 pinout, PZU4.7BA,115 application, or PZU4.7BA,115 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance data (Rth(j-a) = 390 K/W), cathode/anode terminal mapping, and direct alternatives with documented tolerance and leakage differences.
Technical Context
This Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown mode to maintain stable DC voltage under varying load and input conditions. Its hard breakdown knee and low dynamic impedance (800 Ω typ. at 5 mA) ensure minimal voltage deviation during transient current changes, while intentional low leakage (2 µA max at 4.01 V) supports high-impedance sensing nodes.
The device uses silicon planar technology with metallization optimized for surface-mount reliability on FR4 PCBs. Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-ambient (390 K/W) and junction-to-solder-point (255 K/W) resistances, enabling accurate derating in compact layouts where airflow is limited and copper area is constrained to standard SOD323 footprint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener voltage VZ | 4.7 V nominal, ±5 % tolerance (B series); sets precise reference point for regulation at IZ = 5 mA |
| Differential resistance rdif | 800 Ω max at IZ = 5 mA; determines output voltage stability against load current variation |
| Reverse current IR | 2 µA max at VR = 4.01 V; ensures minimal quiescent power loss in standby bias networks |

Applications
| Power Supply Feedback Loop | Sensor Bias Reference |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stabilizing output voltage of a switching DC-DC converter via optocoupler feedback path. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Zener diode provides fixed 4.7 V reference to TL431 shunt regulator input, defining regulation threshold. Use Value: Tight ±5 % tolerance and low rdif reduce output voltage drift across line/load/temperature, improving system efficiency. |
Use Scenario: Providing stable excitation voltage to a resistive temperature detector (RTD) bridge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as precision voltage source for constant-current generation in analog front-end circuitry. Use Value: Sub-µA leakage prevents measurement offset in high-gain instrumentation amplifiers, preserving 12-bit ADC accuracy. |
| Overvoltage Clamp | Microcontroller I/O Protection |
Use Scenario: Limiting transient voltage spikes on a 5 V logic rail caused by inductive load switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamps surges above 4.7 V by conducting excess energy to ground before IC damage occurs. Use Value: 40 W non-repetitive peak power rating absorbs 100 µs transients without degradation, extending system lifetime. |
Use Scenario: Protecting GPIO pins of an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU from ESD events during hot-plug USB interface operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed between I/O line and ground to shunt fast-rising ESD pulses (<1 ns rise time). Use Value: Low capacitance (325 pF) avoids signal integrity degradation on 12 MHz SPI clock lines while meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX384-B4V7 | Same 4.7 V ±5 %, but higher rdif (1000 Ω max) and 5 µA IR at 4.01 V | Less stable under dynamic load; unsuitable for precision references below 1 mA | Select when cost is primary and regulation accuracy >50 mV is acceptable |
| PZU4.7B2A,115 | Same package and VZ, but ±2 % tolerance (B2 series) and 800 Ω rdif at 5 mA | Improved voltage accuracy enables tighter feedback control in regulated power supplies | Select when system-level calibration is impractical and initial tolerance must be <±25 mV |
Compared with PZU4.7BA,115, BZX384-B4V7 trades regulation precision for broader availability, while PZU4.7B2A,115 delivers tighter initial tolerance without changing thermal or footprint constraints - making it ideal for closed-loop systems requiring first-pass accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for PZU4.7BA,115?
The absolute maximum forward current is 200 mA per limiting values table. However, forward conduction is not its intended operating mode; sustained forward bias exceeds thermal limits and risks permanent degradation. Designers should operate exclusively in reverse breakdown for regulation or clamping functions.
Does PZU4.7BA,115 meet RoHS and REACH compliance?
Yes - PZU4.7BA,115 is manufactured per Nexperia's standard environmental policy and conforms to EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Full material declarations and test reports are available through Nexperia's Product Change Notification portal upon request.
Can PZU4.7BA,115 replace a 5.1 V Zener in a feedback network?
No - its 4.7 V nominal Zener voltage creates a 0.4 V regulation offset that alters feedback setpoint and may cause output overvoltage or instability. Direct substitution requires recalculating resistor dividers and verifying loop compensation; use only if system tolerances accommodate the 8 % voltage reduction.
What is the recommended soldering profile for SOD323 mounting?
Nexperia specifies reflow profile per J-STD-020: peak temperature 260 °C max, time above 217 °C ≤ 60 s, ramp-up rate ≤ 3 °C/s. Wave soldering requires preheating to 100–150 °C and contact time ≤ 5 s. Footprint dimensions and solder mask openings are detailed in Figure 10 of the datasheet.
